At this stage of the war with alien creatures, Yan Guo has already used all its strength, and the entire country has also shifted from the previous post-disaster reconstruction and survival construction to war mode.
Fortunately, all aspects of Yanguo were under state control before, so adjusting the national model now does not have as drastic an impact as the transition to war mode in peacetime.
But even so, this has had a great impact on the entire country and caused considerable losses to the national economy and people's livelihood.
After all, everything in Yan State was previously dedicated to serving the people's livelihood. Now that the entire country's strategy has changed direction, everything will be affected.
The deployment of materials, the transformation of production and construction, the allocation of human resources...
Various problems affect the lives of all people.
This undoubtedly makes everyone look forward to the war ending sooner.
But how long will the war last? This question is not only asked by ordinary people, but also by high-level officials.
Regarding this question, everyone actually hopes that the answer is tomorrow. This war will end tomorrow and everything can return to the way it was. This is undoubtedly the answer that everyone wants to hear.
Unfortunately, the war will probably last for a long time.
Although the military has now blocked the alien creatures' troops and blocked them in the Dongting Lake area, and has not allowed the invasion of alien creatures to spread, this does not mean that the war can end soon.
For the military, it has exhausted all their strength to stop the alien creatures in the Dongting Lake area and prevent the invasion from spreading.
It may seem incredible at first. The huge Yan Kingdom has the world's largest army. Even if the disaster has dealt a heavy blow to the Yan Kingdom, it doesn't mean that the military only has this strength, right?
But in fact, the situation is far worse than imagined. The alien creatures' tide-like offensive and literal all-out attack on the shores of Dongting Lake forced the military to adopt a comprehensive defense approach and deploy troops on every section of the lake shore. Heavy troops were deployed for defense.
This is equivalent to the fact that every inch of land on the lakeshore that surrounds the entire Dongting Lake for nearly a thousand kilometers is equipped with defenses that can withstand the attack of alien creatures.
Such a line of defense has never been seen in the history of human warfare.
Because it is impossible for human beings to use such an offensive method, and there is no such force to adopt such an offensive method.
Therefore, this involved a large number of military forces. After all, Yan Guo only had so many standing armies. After excluding the troops that could not be mobilized at will, there were only so many troops that could be used.
This makes everyone wonder, what do alien creatures eat to grow up?
Even if the insect swarm can cultivate offspring and offspring on a large scale, produce them like an assembly line, and consume them like bullets, they still have to consume resources, right?
How do they maintain such an exaggerated reproduction rate and maintain their offensive?

"What do alien creatures eat to grow up? Why do you care about this issue?" In the office, Chen Xin, who took a break while eating lunch, couldn't help but ask Mo Qingyan who asked this question.
Mo Qingyan came to deliver food to Chen Xin. During this period, Chen Xin had been staying in the office and busy working. He even had food and accommodation in the office and had no time to go home.
Because they were worried about his health, Chen Xin's parents asked Mo Qingyan to help him eat after cooking every day and supervise him to eat well.
As for why Mo Qingyan was curious about this question, it was mainly because she heard about the recent war situation from Chen Xin and couldn't help but feel it.
"People are curious, even bugs need to eat, right? The bugs in the game at least have a carpet or something, which is considered logistics, but this invading alien creature can't see the logistics at all, even if it grows from the ground It's not so fast, right?" Mo Qingyan looked at some photos on Chen Xin's desk. They were shots of Dongting Lake taken from the air by a reconnaissance plane. The entire lake has been completely covered by alien creatures, which looks scary enough. Die a few trypophobia.
However, this is already very revealing. After all, as Mo Qingyan said, even insects have to eat. So how did so many alien creatures breed?
Even factory assembly line production requires raw materials, and these alien creatures cannot be conjured out of thin air.
In response, Chen Xin just shook his head and said: "Didn't you go with me when I cleared the nest of alien creatures before? Alien creatures are hatched from eggs, and their food... should be from the mother's body Obtained.”
"Mother's body? That big monster we saw then?" Of course Mo Qingyan still remembered the huge mother's body she saw last time, but this still puzzled her: "But the mother's body also needs to eat, right? The initial energy Where did it come from?"
"We don't know yet. The biological research laboratory is doing analysis, but there is a speculation that they obtain energy from magma." This information was not confidential, so Chen Xin did not shy away and told Mo Mo. Qing Yan: "According to our speculation, this kind of alien creature relies on its mother to absorb heat from the magma, and then convert it into energy material in the mother's body. That is, the high-temperature body fluid is transported to the offspring and the embryos in the mother's body.
Relying on this high-energy substance, the embryo can hatch quickly, and the offspring can also have enough energy to fight.
Judging from the information we have obtained so far, there should be no problem with this speculation. Moreover, according to the information we have obtained, alien creatures are also recycling the bodies of offspring killed on the battlefield. Obviously, these biomass can be recycled. . "
"Eating corpses?" Mo Qingyan could obviously understand what this meant.
Chen Xin rolled his eyes at her angrily and tapped the bowl with his chopsticks: "I'm still eating!"
"Sorry!" Mo Qingyan quickly apologized to Chen Xin.
However, both of them obviously didn't mind this and quickly skipped the topic.
"A Xin, when do you think the war will end? If the country uses nuclear bombs, it should be able to kill all these alien creatures in an instant, right?" Mo Qingyan took the photo taken by the reconnaissance plane and looked at it The dense alien creatures asked Chen Xin.
However, Chen Xin still shook his head and replied negatively: "Not to mention whether the country is willing to use nuclear bombs on its own territory, even if nuclear bombs are really used, it may be difficult to completely eliminate these alien creatures. At most, they can only be wiped out. The ones that appear on the lake now will not have a very good killing effect on the mother body hidden deep underground.
As long as the mother body is still there, these alien creatures can still reproduce rapidly and quickly return to their current scale. It is impossible for us to keep dropping nuclear bombs to destroy these alien creatures, right? "
